PROGRAM:
Our traditional SHOW & TELL. A bit late, but always interesting. All members
participate.

BROWSE Nite: 25 Nov 2002 7 p.m.

Our October meeting was given by Jeff Kappeler and as usual a very good one. He had
many items from the household of the tailor, including his boots that he wore when coming
from Sweden. Also showing up were his billfold from the old country, his
naturalization papers, a comforter made of pieces of wool suiting. And the
list goes on. After paying for all of the estate treasures, poor Jeffs
billfold was empty. Jeff does work for an Estate Auction company out of Omaha.
Thanks Jeff for another enjoyable program.

Time for a
correction! The
Omaha City Directory that was donated by the Jacobys was not a 1943 issue, but a
1993. Nothing like being 50 years off, Claire.

The
Hooper Sentinel in 1913 had a special in their newspaper called: Well Known Men of
Hooper and Maiden Days of Our Women.

Frank M
Tillman was born at Ernst on the Rhine and Mosel Kries Kochem, Germany, May 10,
1824. After serving his time in the German Army he came to

America in 1852 settling
in Detroit, Michigan. He voted for Franklin Pierce for President in the fall of 1852
and has voted for Democratic presidential candidates every four years since that time.

At the age of
31, he was married at Detroit, to Miss Anna Enderling, moving from Detroit to
Holton, Michigan where he engaged in the hotel business. The year of 1868, he with
his family moved to Nebraska, settling on a 160 acre farm in Ridgeley Township where he
was three times elected as county commissioner of Dodge County; elected for the first time
in the fall of 1872, in 1881 he rented his farm and moved to Hooper purchasing the
Hotel property, continuing in the Hotel business for nine years. After moving to
Hooper he was elected as supervisor of Hooper Township for three different times, serving
six years. Mr Tillman will be 90 years old the 10th of next May and he takes as much
interest in the county, state and national affairs to day as anyone in our county.

Mr
Tillman is a member of the Roman Catholic Church.
